The Red Slender Loris (Loris tardigradus) lives in India and Sri Lanka, where it feed on bird eggs, insects, lizards, fruits and leaves. It has very long, slender limbs, which give it its name. With its four way grip on each foot, it can even sleep, while holding onto branches. A group contains some adults and young, and the adults hunt during the night, while sleeping during the day. The Red Slender Loris is an endangered animal. It is often killed for its use in eye medicine by quacks. Habitat destruction as well as capturing for animal testing are also major threats. As it is with many species, its future dependends on human intervention and the protection of forest habitats
